Everything You Need to Know About Malifaux Jockeys and Their Roles

Well, I reckon some of ya might’ve heard of that game called Malifaux. It’s that little tabletop game folks are all excited about, playin’ with miniatures and all. Now, there’s this thing comin’ up in the fall—something called “Ashes of Malifaux.” Sounds mighty fancy, don’t it? People been talkin’ ‘bout it, and I heard it’s gonna bring some new bits and pieces for folks to try out in the game. The folks over at Wyrd Miniatures, they’re the ones behind it, and they sure know how to get people’s curiosity up.

So, let me tell ya a little bit ‘bout this “Jockey” business, since that’s what we’re here for. I’ve been listenin’ to folks ramble on, and I reckon this Jockey thing is gonna be one of them big changes comin’ in the game. Now, I don’t know everything, but what I do know is these Jockeys, they’re part of the Bayou faction. And let me tell ya, them Bayou folks, they’re wild, like a pack of hungry coyotes on a full moon night!

From what I gathered, them Jockeys are mighty special in the game. They’re not just for lookin’ pretty on the table, no ma’am. They bring a whole mess of abilities to the game. Now, these Jockeys ain’t just plain ol’ figures, no sir. They’ve got a second keyword, which means they’re versatile—can do a whole lotta things for ya. Some folks are thinkin’ that every Bayou keyword’s gonna get themselves a Jockey, and that makes sense, don’t it? Seems like a good way to add more spice to the game, keep things fresh-like.

I reckon if I was playin’ the game, I’d want one of them Jockeys on my side. They seem to be mighty useful, especially with them extra abilities they got. It’s like havin’ a backup player who knows how to kick up a storm. I heard that some people been thinkin’ about how a whole Jockey crew might work together. Now, don’t go gettin’ too carried away, but it sounds like it could be a real fun time if ya get the right mix.

Now, let’s talk a little bit about the Bayou faction. I’m not one to beat ‘round the bush, so I’ll tell ya straight: them Bayou folks, they’re tricky. They know how to make the best of a bad situation, and they don’t mind gettin’ their hands dirty. If you’re gonna play with them Jockeys, you gotta be ready to think on your feet. It ain’t just about what ya can do with the Jockey itself, but how you use it in combination with the rest of your crew.

Somebody mentioned somethin’ ‘bout a master—Bo Peep, I think they said. I’m not too sure ‘bout all them names and whatnot, but I reckon Bo Peep could be a good fit if you’re lookin’ to work with them Jockeys. There’s a whole mess of strategies floatin’ around, and it seems like a lotta folks are still tryin’ to figure out the best way to use these new Jockeys in the game. But don’t let that scare ya. If you’re new to this Malifaux business, just remember: it’s all ‘bout havin’ fun. Get a crew together, make sure they work well, and go on from there.

I’ve heard people talk about the “four horsemen” too. Well, not quite like the ones from the Bible, but it’s somethin’ like that. They got all sorts of different Jockeys and whatnot, and I reckon they could make the game a real spectacle if you’re lookin’ to mix things up. And of course, you can’t forget them Tyrants. They’re the big shots in the world of Malifaux, with powers so big and fancy, it’s like they can do whatever they want.

But at the end of the day, this whole Jockey business, it’s just another reason why people love this game. Malifaux keeps growin’, keeps changin’, and keeps folks comin’ back for more. I reckon once this “Ashes of Malifaux” expansion comes out, there’ll be a whole new world to explore. So, whether you’re just gettin’ started or you’ve been playin’ for years, keep your eye on this Jockey thing. Might just be the key to win a few more games!

One thing’s for sure: it ain’t gonna be boring. So go on, gather up your pieces, and get ready to roll. I got a feeling this Jockey business is gonna make things mighty interestin’ around the Malifaux table.
